I love Fairy's remark about the integral crown. You tell her, Fairy! I mean, what's a princess? How'd she get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. (And also, probably, by having a watery tart throw a sword at her.)

Loved the royal portrait and the close-ups of Fairy. Just look at her pink lips, she's so kissable. I wonder where Bear and Pixier were during Princess Anastasia's visit. I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted to miss out on the tea party.

Hi Jaqueline! Yes, I really must take some nice, new pics this weekend, I like to see their photos too!

My voice is a little better, thank you, quite good at low volume now, but useless on the phone or when i try to speak a little louder. I bought a voice amplifier on EBay, it came today, it could be useful if my voice doesn't improve by April 13 when I am doing a rug making workshop. I know I will need to 'speak up' and that is when it lets me down!

It's odd but Pixie and Bear seem to be able to hear me say 'suppertime' very well :)

I use Fairy as my role model for my girl who's a very picky eater. I keep telling her she lighter than a piggy with 1 tooth (I hope that's right). I love looking at everyone's rounded behind. Well done Bear & Pixie.

Well, Mildred, my "fairies" are doing well. I actually gave Amelia a little tub bath all by herself the other day and she may have enjoyed it. There was certainly no unpleasant fussing. The drying, afterwards, well that tried her patience I think.

Their weight fluctuates much more than the others, and it does make me nervous, especially with the littlest one. Dak and Dash are the big guys - their weights are 930 and 966 grams. The girls are little dainty things. Amelia is only 746 grams, and Billie is a slight 866.

Well, one day at a time, and every day is a blessing. They are all happy and spoiled, though not quite as much as Fairy, I suspect. Our day spa is a little less posh, and my English Garden consists of a Christmas cactus and some Snake plants! LOL!
